Your Southern Barbarians will be more than happy to exploit their masses, as does China, for cheap labor, slaving in Western owned sweatshops to feed American retail outlets.

Disease is not going to come to our rescue. There are reports (how reliable?) of him stumbling, blurring his speech, etc.; they may mean something; they may not. We'll probably have to do it ourselves. Doug Where did this god forsaken monster come from. Stumbling ! i think we can work with this. Take him up Trump tower and rig the elevator doors to open and allow Trump to fall down the elevator shaft where his egotistical fatness will break under the weight of his narcissism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suit yourself. Trump might still save himself and his family from prosecution as criminals if he resigns now. But he better hurry. That window is closing. Doug Bearing in mind what your broadcasts are like over there I think anything the US media says about Trump needs to be taken carefully with a pinch of salt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The republicans are losing local elections thanks to Trump and sooner or latter self survival is gonna visit the senate republicans. Local elections are exactly that ... local. The best an unpopular politician can hope for is to tie himself to the coattails of a popular president. In the case of the Kentucky governor... He was very unpopular with a lot of people especially the teachers. It's hard to do the right thing when it personally affects so many other people in a negative way. In one way @Tatetopais correct... There are those that tend to want to divide us. They tend to divide us along racial lines, along sexual lines, and especially along political lines... I. E. Republicans versus Democrats. And it is not just the Democrats who wish to divide us . It is the elite, establishment politicians who created a gravy train for themselves on our backs and keep us divided so that we keep fighting amongst ourselves and hopefully not recognize what it is they are actually doing behind our backs. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skliss Posted November 9, 2019 #243 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just now, RabidMongoose said: She ought to be careful because there are plenty of times she has been acting weird First I think she regrets nothing...or only regrets she was heard saying it. Second, I think she's unhealthy and has been for a long time...I think she barely made it thru campaigning and I was talking with some people the other day about how the only way we've seen her lately is being interviewed while sitting in a big comfy chair, no walking or strutting a stage. And last, the few clips I saw yesterday with her mocking Trump (and the fact that she's suddenly out and about ) seemed weirdly frantic. Made me wonder if she's kinda worried about what a Ukraine corruption investigation might reveal about her and her time as SOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILLIONS will simply not accept that boot on their neck. Those who doubt that are in for a surprise. Formenting insurrection can be interpreted in many different ways. You seem to walk that line on many occasions, if I were you I would be careful in the manner you choose to express you thoughts on that subject. With all the internet monitoring that is currently being used by our Government someone could certainly get the wrong idea. Which would be caused by numerous statements you have made spanning many threads. Take care, and think about what I have said. Last, I don't think that is what you mean to imply, but many times during the Trump and Gun threads you have made statements that could be interpreted as such.

Doug1029 Posted November 11, 2019 #247 Share Posted November 11, 2019 My impeachment forecast for 11/11/2019: Trump will be impeached. But removal from office is now too close to call. tRUMP's disapproval rating is above 50% on a nationwide basis: that's dangerous country for tRUMP. McConnell has grown suspiciously silent about tRUMP's possible removal from office : he's thinking about it. Some states now poll above 60% on whether tRUMP should be removed. I see Storm Warnings.

Wonder if she was talking about when his senior staff undermined his orders to obstruct an investigation? In all seriousness though I think Ms Haley may have just further mainstreamed the 25th amendment conversation. I'm just curious if it was intentional or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those White House staff would do more to serve the public interest by going public. We don't need a a clique inside the administration determining policy. That's another step toward dictatorship, even if they mean well at this time. Doug 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
